  Powerful and quiet, but with the...

  Used on an i7 10700K, in a medium size case with three fans (2 on the front and 1 on the back) the performance is on point and the sound is minimal.
  However the installation is, for my part, very tedious. The installation of the support on the motherboard is easy, but the installation of the cooling unit on the processor is more delicate.
  Tip: make sure you use a good thermal paste to reduce the change of the thermal paste.

  Ok

  The product itself is very good. I have to use another fan mount from my old Be Quiet fan to mount the new one, as the one that came with the new one is not very good: no foam protection, no anti-distortion protection. I had to use another support from my old Be Quiet fan to be able to mount the new one, because the one provided with the new one is of poor quality: no protective foam, no anti-slip + huge gap between the parts (I'm talking about the metal part that is fixed to the back of the motherboard). I'm not sure if it's compatible with my motherboard, though.

  Very good but not easy to assemble

  Nothing to say about the quality of the product or its cooling capabilities, it is just excellent and will do the job perfectly.
  On the other hand the assembly was not really easy and was rather long.
  Apart from that, the ventirad is top notch!

  Good cooling

  I bought this model to replace the Intel fan and thus reduce the noise level of my CPU.
  
  This fan is bigger, runs slower and therefore makes much less noise.
  The temperature of the processor has also dropped by 10 to 20°C compared to the previous situation.
  
  It's big but I had no trouble installing it on the motherboard, over the RAM and SSD. Installed with two people though: one person to hold the fan to the motherboard on one side and another to screw it on the other.
  
  A thermal paste is fitted from the factory, but I replaced it with one of my choice.

  Does the job in a small space

  The silence is there. On the other hand, it is quite difficult to assemble compared to a classic ventirad. It has to be assembled piece by piece and in the right direction. The explanations in the manual are not very clear.

  Big but effective

  Hello
  This Shadow Rock TF 2 is remarkable for its efficiency, admittedly a little big but it is more than enough for an ATX MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC card.
  It's sober, easy to install and above all, it doesn't have any Christmas tree style LEDs which are useless.
  Compared to my old ventirad, I lost 25° and 25db, totally inaudible, it's perfect, I warmly recommend it (well freshly...)

  Passe Partout

  I bought it to put on an i3 1151 processor, on a mini ITX motherboard... Well, I was a gambler, it just passed... anyway I'm really happy with it!
  
  On all my configurations, I take this model: silent and powerful (my CPU seems to keep cool :D)

  cools

  Cools the processor well, at rest I'm at about 28 degrees, in game I go up to 38 degrees without being at 100% but putting it at 100% the processor stays at 22 degrees at rest but the fan makes a helicopter noise.
  
  I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it in a few days.
  
  I'm not used to it, but it's a pain in the ass to install.

  good product

  This is the first time I have ordered such a low profile fridge, as I ordered a tower with a window at the same time, and I didn't want a fridge that would obscure the rest of the components by coming flush with the window.
  Well, the beast is still imposing.
  I'm on a full SSD configuration so it's very quiet and the fan is very quiet
  I'm on a full SSD setup so it's very quiet and the fan is very quiet (fortunately there is a window in the tower to see that it's running).
  I've been using it for a while now, but it's still a good product and it's very quiet even when fully loaded.

  Does the job

  Be careful with the dimensions!
  I had trouble mounting it because the ram took up too much space. (Corsair Dominator Platinum 32 GB (4x 8 GB) DDR4 2133 MHz CL10)
  Not wanting to force and damage the ram, I lost a lot of time.
  In the end, it runs smoothly but it was just right.
  Apart from that, it works well and is very quiet!
